Chapter 1202: War Drums Sound

mpress dowager's eyes lit up, looking at the Zi Xing on Dugu Cheng's neck with a puzzled expression. How could this Zi Xing be on himIf you want the Purple Star, then see what the Empress Dowager does..."Your Majesty, is there something amiss with this"

Feng Lingxi put away the blueprints and turned to Xiao Li, saying, "Xiao Li, I'm going to the military camp. You take care of Wan'er."

Feng Lingxi was about to get up and leave, Xiao Li hurriedly stopped her, "Your Highness, it's so late now, it's not safe for you to go to the military camp. Besides, I don't feel comfortable letting you go alone."

"I'll be back soon."

Feng Lingxi patted Xiao Li's shoulder and said, "When I come back, I will slowly tell you. You take Wan'er to Xiaomi."

"Then you wait for me a while, I'll accompany you to the military camp in a while, and let Mrs. Xiaomi take care of Wan'er."

Feng Lingxi thought for a moment, nodded, and holding Wan'er, went to Tian Xiaomi's courtyard. The smell of roasted lamb legs wafted from Tian Xiaomi's kitchen, who was puzzled by where the delicious aroma came from. Just then, she saw Feng Lingxi arrive.

"Xiao Mi, Wan'er is entrusted to you. I'm going to the army camp and might not be back tonight."

"What are you doing at the military camp this late"

Tian Xiaomi looked at Feng Ling Xi, who put down the roasted leg of lamb. "You and Wan'er eat this, we'll leave first and explain when we get back."

Watching them leave, Tian Xiaomǐ pulled at Wǎn'ěr, "What's wrong with your mother again"

"Don't need me anymore, huh"

Wan'er opened the roast leg of lamb, and Tian Xiaomi hurriedly patted her little hand, "Wash your hands first, and then see if there are any problems before you eat."

Now Tian Xiaomi is very careful about her food, afraid there might be a problem with it.

This roasted leg of lamb wasn't cooked by Feng Ling Xi, so she has to check it.

After personally trying it, Tian Xiaomǐ didn't feel any discomfort, so she took a knife and cut meat for Wan'er to eat.

Feng Lingxi rode in with Xiao Li, arriving at the military camp. The people inside had never seen the Princess Consort of the Celestial Empire come to the camp at night, so they quickly rushed forward to greet her.

"Where is the Lord"

"Your Highness, the King is at camp."

The soldiers watched Feng Lingxi's imposing demeanor and secretly felt nervous for the prince. Could it be that the prince had done something wrong, prompting his wife to personally come here and arrest someone

"Take me there quickly."

Feng Lingxi led the way, and Dugucheng, who was interrogating the bandits inside his tent, heard footsteps outside. He thought he had misheard until the soldiers entered to report.

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has arrived."

Dugu Cheng got up and rushed out. Looking at Feng Lingxi's figure, he was full of surprise.

"Xier, what brings you here"

Wind Ling Xi looked at the soldiers who were staring at her. Duguo Cheng gestured for them to step back, and only then did Wind Ling Xi take out a drawing from her bosom.

"I came here for this. This is from Youyou to Wan'er. Just now, Wan'er asked me what this picture was, so I came over to inquire about the robber who came today."

"His name is Du Yue, he's a refugee who fled here."

I want to see him.

Feng Lingxi watched Dugu City, seeing him looking at the blueprints in confusion. Feng Lingxi's eyes were solemn, "This is the same method of making as my gunpowder, but this thing's power is more terrifying than gunpowder."

Upon hearing this, Dugu City took the drawings and examined them carefully.

"Is this also from your place"

"This pattern is."

Dugu City nodded, "Bring him out for interrogation."

Feng Lingxi responded, and Dugu City arranged an empty tent for her, bringing Du Yue to be interrogated there. Du Yue knelt on the ground, being questioned alone. Her eyes darted back and forth, her heart pounding with fear.

"Du Yue, are you plotting something by infiltrating the pastoral area and abducting the men"

Du Yue looked up and at Feng Lingxi. She was no longer the simple, guileless girl she used to be. She seemed like a completely different person.

Since you asked, I won't keep it a secret from you. We are indeed plotting something, but we're not going to tell you about it.

"Aren't you afraid of death"

Feng Lingxi stared at Du Yue's ruffian appearance, got up and walked in front of him. Du Yue thought Feng Lingxi was going to hit him, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Feng Lingxi spread the bomb schematics before him. Du Yue glanced at them, his expression changing drastically. He looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes filled with suspicion, "Where did you get this Who gave it to you"

"The Crown Princess meddles too much, how would I know what this is about."

Du Yue's face was full of disdain, she wasn't afraid of Feng Lingxi's questioning at all.

You can choose not to say, but I will still find out.

Feng Lingxi put the drawings away carefully. Du Yue looked at Feng Lingxi with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"This blueprint fell out of your hand. I believe you hold an important position within your group. You can waste time with me as much as you like, and I'm curious to see how long you can last. Are your other comrades just as resistant as you"

Wind Ling finished speaking, Wind Feather Ink shouted at the door, "Brother-in-law, I found out."

Du Yue's face changed drastically when the question was asked, and she tried to get up but was held down by Dugu City.

Feng Lingxi walked out, and Feng Yu Mo saw her, full of astonishment.

"Sister, how did you come here"

"Yu Mo, what did you ask"

Feng Yu Mo hurriedly said, "They confessed that their counterfeit operation required a lot of manpower. The chieftain came up with this trick, catching the men to do the labor. They were afraid of being discovered, so they had people from the village impersonate these herdsmen. This way, they could control the situation and keep it hidden, and at the same time, these beasts could satisfy their animal desires and bully the women."

"Do you know where the counterfeit is"

Feng Yu Mo nodded, “They said they were willing to lead the way, as long as they were spared.”

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "This time, I want to go with you." She had to find out if what they were doing was the same as she thought, producing bombs. If this were true, with such a large-scale production, not to mention the Great Yuan Dynasty, sooner or later the entire world would fall into their hands.

She had to take a good look.

"Okay, Yumo will go and gather the people first. There's one case that still needs to be dealt with."

Feng Lingxi returned to the tent and looked at Du Yue.

"Your accomplices have all confessed. It seems like you bandits have done many evil things, bullying men and women. You are truly without conscience."

"Might makes right, this world isn't always fair. If you weren't the princess consort of Chen, what difference would there be between you and those other women"

Du Yue looked at Feng Lingxi with disdain, “Don’t say you don’t know the location of this bandit stronghold. Even if I let you go there, relying on you guys, you wouldn't even be able to capture it. It’s laughable.”

"It seems you're very confident that I can't take down your village"

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, looking at Du Yue's confident appearance. Her guess became more and more certain—this Du Yue was the one who drew the blueprints for this bomb. If he could draw it, he knew its power, and they must have produced quite a lot of them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident that the 500,000 army from Linxi County wouldn't be able to capture his stronghold.

"This is nature."

Du Yue glanced at Dugu City, "This marching and fighting is done with the brain, not brute force."

"You're right, but I'm rather curious. This bomb is powerful, but if it's misused, wouldn't your village be destroyed as well"

Feng Lingxi's words made Du Yue stiffen, she looked at her in astonishment, "How do you know this is called a bomb"ok just like your mother. Could it really be a woman who looks exactly like your mother"She was the former Saint Master of the Yao Clan, my biological mother.Feng Lingxi looked at Empress Cen, "If Emp...
